It took a good 5 months to be able to play the song. I didn’t play it great but I could play it. As for the dim chord… I think you are talking about the area of the song where it goes… (F) just a half mile from the (D7/F#) railroad track. The F , you know. The D7/F# is just a D7 chord and your holding down the LO E on the 2nd fret with your thumb. You do a little pick holding down the “b” string on 1st fret then adding a quick 3rd fret pick (you need pinky power). It reminds me of the picks in Freight Train. If you capo down to the 2nd fret it helps. I still screw it up. ha ha ha. I don’t play the full 18 minute song. Just getting the intro & first stanza down was hard enough to memorize. But, it’s pretty much the same throughout the song. This is a great warm up song. Stretches out those fingers. I did have to omit a few picks here and there because my fingers just wouldn’t do it. Now, I think I could, but like I said I use it as a warm up now, so I just play the intro for warm up. My fingers are already trained, if I think too hard when I’m playing I can’t do it???
